I knew

I knew I wanted to meet him when his hands,
Caressed my mouth with a tender gesture,
My nerves surfaced, breaking my inner anchors,
A desire to discover the being kept between the years.

I, always dominant, saw how he let his guard down,
And in his eyes I found a refuge of serenity,
I put into practice what I had lived, what I had overcome adversity,
Longing to learn with him the love that always awaits.

Not the fictitious love of fairy tales,
But the real one, that transcends dreams,
That blossoms in the most serene and mature moments.

Fifteen years have passed, and still in my heart,
The desire persists to learn with him, without pause,
The deep meaning of a love without borders or hardship.
